Effector T cells are linked to the generation of effector molecules. They contribute to pathogen clearance. They undergo terminal differentiation and have a short lifespan.
T cell homeostasis, differentiation, and effector function critically depend on precise regulation of gene expression. Changing the state of T cells requires significant remodeling of the proteome, which is controlled by a complex network of regulatory mechanisms, including post-transcriptional gene regulation.
